Audio problem: The auctioneer says the object that Oliver is bidding on is Japanese, but the insert angle of the brochure said it was Chinese. It could be a character mistake, but that wouldn't move the plot anywhere and, besides, this is a movie, so the one who designed the brochure most probably didn't know what the script said.
The War of the Roses (1989)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: Danny DeVito
Starring: Danny DeVito, Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Marianne Sagebrecht
Revealing mistake: In the shot where Barbara is cartwheeling down the stairs after Oliver wrestles the ornament from her in the previous shot, the stairs have become totally flat like a ramp.
Gavin: Oliver, my father used to say that a man can never outdo a woman when it comes to love and revenge.
Trivia: In this film, to get back at Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas saws off all the heels of his wife's shoes; in the film "Romancing the Stone", which was filmed earlier, Michael Douglas, using a machete, chops the heels off Kathleen Turner's shoes for practical purposes.
